Aggressors, Deviants or Just Delinquents? Violent Sex Offenders in the Czech Republic – Book of Abstracts

Original language description

Violent crime of sexual nature results not only in serious consequences for its direct victims, but it subsequently disrupts and jeopardizes relationships and undermines a sense of safety in society. The actual evidence base on violent sex crime in the Czech Republic does not match the seriousness of the problem. So far, no comprehensive criminological research on the occurrence and forms of the violent sex crime and its offenders, analysing the measures taken against offenders of this type of crime, has been carried out in this country. To fill this gap, the Institute of Criminology and Social Prevention in Prague has carried out a research, which specifically focuses on the issue of sexually oriented violence, its offenders and victims and also on the response of the public authorities to this serious type of offending. The paper presents selected results of a unique study of a sample of more than 700 offenders, convicted of rape or other violent sex offences in the Czech Republic in years 2007-2011 (which represents approximately 2/3 of all offenders convicted of this type of crime there in that period), based mainly on an analysis of criminal court files, criminal records in the Penal Register and written forensic expert opinions on the mental state of offenders.
